There was no wiring diagram with the new motor. I did so more testing and found the old green wire now goes to the new blue wire. It is the spray and spin cycle.
Sure would have been nice if Maytag was more helpful. One little note in the directions is all that would have been required....

Thx,
Neil

Neil,
I need to know if the motor came with a wiring diagram when it was purchased or did it just come by itself. You may have to learn how to read the wiring diagram that is stored inside the control panel.

Maytag top load washer growls like its skipping teeth/gears while agitating.

Hello tomlyoung59

it sounds like the coupling between the transmission and the agitator is bad . You know the transmissions now a days have plastic gears in them and if you continue to use it may blow the transmission!
Speed queen is the only one I know with stainless steel parts in the trans and only 6 moving parts in the trans too.

How old is the washer?

If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad!
New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!
Water,Electric and detergent! And put money back in your pocket!
The new appliance will pay for itself in only a few years!
